G'day collectd coders
I have been assessing collectd for two organisations (plus my
home network :)

It looks like it will do everything I need. Thankyou very much.
This system is best of class  (one stop shop, small daemon overhead,
 extensible ... but then _you_ know all this :)

By way of something of a contribution back .. I thought I would throw
some collection3 "alterations" at you to do with as you see fit.

These are trivial "hacks" to the collection3  cgi / css files.
(um perl in NOT my thing ) (stuffed if I can pull the per instance 
hostname alone out of $args :) (no biggie though)

The Initial motivation was a html table layout bug and a target user
trainee admin base who are, well, um, windows/ubuntu/desktop users,
running a 20 host Linux LTSP network :) (mostly successfully)

So I had to make it "prettier" and reporting as convenient clean and
clear as practicable. 

Attached are: "html.css" and htmlcss.cgi
which are put in share/ and bin/ as appropriate.
(then htmlcss.cgi is called directly or I mv the real index.cgi sym
link or mv the test version)

I have tried to stay simple and clean.
There is a changelog in the .cgi .

Maybe this is useful it:
 saves a couple of lines of prints()
 has no tables (IMHO time to move on from those)
 has slightly improved usability
 I find it easier to grok which graph is about what.
(notably on large sets)
 

Pete

Debian Hint #2: You can use 'dpkg-reconfigure <package>' to change the
answers you gave to the questions asked when you first installed a
package. The 'configure-debian' package provides a unified front end
for doing this, as well.
